Do people put their OSS projects on their CV? I'm trying to put together a decent graduate CV and the non-tech people around me insist that I should put "the research projects I spend so much time on" on it, but I'm pretty sure that as long as there's a Github link the rows full of jargon combined with meaningless names that would be a project list do more harm than good.

    People probably aren't going to spend lots of time trawling your GitHub profile manually or perhaps do so at all, so you should at least list the highlights of your projects.

    Go for it. Can't hurt.

    If I can easily find an applicant GitHub page, I usually look at their own projects and last N contributions.

    Pro tip: If the discussion style in GitHub is filled with curses, insults and in general unprofessional... Yeah. That applicant will get filtered.
